I'm a fan of small capacity motorbikes in general and so I am always keen to test smaller new machines as they become available. I don't think I've ever seen a "full size" 125cc Adventure Bike though and that's really what the Sinnis Terrain is - but is it any good? Stick around and stay tuned to find out!

I wish bikes like that existed when I was 17. I had to do my first biking holiday (in 1979!) on a Honda CG125, with my tent, sleeping bag, cooking gear and clothes all bungee tied to the pillion! Great review thanks.

@@peterrobinson7973 My mate on that aforementioned trip was on a CB125 of 1978 vintage. We went from the Suffolk coast up to the Peak District and when we arrived at our pre-booked campsite in Edale we got turned away because they didn't accept "bikers". Bearing in mind we were a couple of fairly nerdy 17 year old schoolboys from rural Suffolk, riding 125's on L plates, we were fairly flattered to be called "bikers". Luckily we managed to find another campsite and notwithstanding being stung by a bee on the trip up and a wasp on the way home (just wearing zip up bomber jackets in those days), we had a memorable trip.

My admittedly bias view is that it's a purchase new and throw it away after a couple of years when the warrenty runs out, but it's great to see a manufacturer that provides pretty much everything you need as standard. If only all manufacturers were so inclined.

For the past 12 months this has been my every day bike. Excellent commuter bike. Build quality, reliability, handling, and equipment all outstanding. The low 1st and 2nd gears won't help you win the Traffic Light Grand Prix but are ideal when on mud, gravel, ice, or snow. If you want something that goes like a sports bike buy a sports bike. If you want an excellent commuter bike that you can take adventure riding too buy the Sinnis Terrain :-)

125cc Commuting Adventure bike! :D But seriously, for £2549 you get full luggage (panniers+top box), full protection (engine and rear crash bars), proper adventure foot pegs with rubber inserts for vibration damping, center stand, hand guards, GS-like front end with the beak, good dashboard with functionality and a USB charging port, a big enough fuel tank for at least 400km and a 2 year warranty! Damn, that IS impressive! Despite it being a small displacement bike with not a lot of power, a package like this for a beginner rider is an absolute winner for the money!

My friend who I work with has a Sinnis RSX 125 which he has had for just over 12 months and although it hasn't let him down the build quality and amount of rust it has on it is frightening. It is washed weekly during the worst of the winter months but it still hasn't helped the exposed areas of the bike. It's a shame as it looks smart for a 125 but they need to up there game if they want to compete with the big Japanese boys.

I’ve come to believe: 1) Having at least two motorcycles amplifies the pleasure by more than double and 2) It’s better to have two quite different bikes you can afford to run than one bike that consumes your time and resources. The other thing a bike like this does is help cleanse ye ol’hubris, and for many a biker, that’s not such a bad idea.

Your comment about riding a small/slow bike to it's full potential reminds me of James May from Top Gear. Yes he has Ferraris and other fast cars but he always said on the show how he enjoyed the small cars more, notably a Fiat Panda...because you could take them to the limit of grip and not be at dangerous speeds.

Otherwise they let him ride off on an illegal bike. Maybe they supply a stick on the key-ring so you can jam it in when it gets dark. I know you get what you pay for but you'd get a decent honda 125 for the same money.

@socmint83 5 жыл бұрын

Don't laugh I'm seriously considering buying this little Chinese machine for my proposed ride from Kent to The Gambia. I currently ride a Suzuki GSX1250. The clincher for me here is that riding a 125 bike will cut down on costs hugely. My route will be UK, France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and finally The Gambia where I own a small apartment in Sekuta. I plan on doing the whole trip (3,000 miles) in 14 days. Riding on motorways at 50MPH will be painfully long but once I've crossed into Morocco things will become much kinder of both myself and the little bike. I'm a 55 year old retired bike cop with 40 years riding experience. I don't need to impress anyone and have no problem riding a little 125. For those of you who fancy an African adventure, as a seasoned African traveller I can honestly say that in Africa a 125cc bike makes ultimate sense. It's all you really need. What counts is reliability and robustness. I don't see a problem riding this little Chinese bike. The other bikes I've considered is a Honda 100 Cub step through or a Honda CG125.

I have been very interested in the various Sinnis reviews. This one in particular. The bike is an identikit match to what is sold here in Indonesia as the VIAR Vortex. VIAR based in Jakarta "make" a range of bikes. In fact as so often these days they in fact assemble the bikes. I am now going to delve further into the roots of my VIAR CrossX 150c.....

It's good to see another smaller capacity bike on a longer term review, especially a maybe not so popular make. Slightly sad that no other makers offer a 125 adventure. I know the van van from suzuki would have been a sort of rival for it but I'm not sure you can buy them new any more. The top speed was similar to this bike though. It will be good to see how this bike stacks up:)

Here in Australia we have trouble with some Chinese manufacturers who are here today gone tomorrow. This leaves owners with no spares parts.

@BN1960 5 жыл бұрын

That's 'cos there are generic makers of bikes and bike parts in China who you can go to and ask them to make you say, 10000 Peter bikes, which they will. You then find they are actually shit quality and you get far more warranty claims than you expected which gives you zero profit. So you bail out early and dump the rest of your stock leaving existing customers with no support at all. Happens in the UK & Europe a lot. I know people in the trade who will not touch anything Chinese for that very reason.

It says; "Sinnis carry in stock many items including regulator rectifiers, handlebars, panels and fairings, chain and sprocket kits, service items (oil, filters and gaskets), brake and clutch cables, a range of scooter and motorcycle batteries, spark plugs, a comprehensive range of motorcycle and scooter tyres, switch gear and much, much more - peace of mind is at the core of our values.

How can they make this for so little or ate we being ripped off? My dct africa twin costs extra for 12v socket , 200 quid extra for a centre stand 300 for crash bars and my box's were a massive £1300. I understand the quality isn't the same but come on 10 grand difference just on the standard bike. It's still got 2 wheels a tank , suspension and looks great. This will be a big seller and that's how they will start to take over the market. Wait till a bigger engine version comes out which it will.

This is certainly a good looking bike and is surprisingly well equipped for the money. Perfect for reasonable town and country riding. Perhaps it is a bit under-powered compared to other bikes in its class but this Sinnis Terrain is certainly on the right path for future improvement and a power upgrade. And speaking of paths, can we expect to see any off-road riding with this GS inspired "Adventure Bike" in the future reviews you mentioned? It is named Terrain after all. Go on. Give her a go and get some dirt on the ruddy thing. Please. ;-)

What is it like standing up on the bike? I think that apart from the feel of the bike the longevity and quality of parts is what I’d be worried about.

It's quite nicely balanced standing up...

Fairly sure the engines sinnis use are basically the one from the Suzuki gs 125 same as used in the dr125sm and vanvan as you say not the fastest but certainly reliable

Is it possible that the engine just might be a Suzuki engine from there 125cc, range or does that not happen so it will be a complete sinnis only engine, just curious because my old van van 125 ccs had that cutout when you lowered the side stand, could possibly tell me the length of the bike, i am seriously after a replacement for the van van , but we recently has to shorten our garage?

Great review - would be good if it could make it over 60, but then again the Yamaha ys125 only has 8kw. The wife had a KSR moto worx that would batter along at 65 on A roads, made a huge difference. Like the little add on's and seems good value for money. as you said, what do you expect from a 125 under £3k....

send some of that sun up to Sheffield mate, i was going out today but its pissing down ....again :(.......great little bike though for the budget buyer first time rider looking to get into touring with a tent etc , i think it looks great i would buy one just for work use through the winter but as i said if you are a young 17 year old serious biker wanting to get into the world of adventure touring then this bike is ideal for the price and what you get with it ....still my first adventure bike was a varadero 125 and that would do 70mph :)

Hey TMF another great review , still prefer the 125s from when i was 17 (bit older now lol) sounds ok not to tinny or maybe it sounds different in the flesh , would appreciate it if you let us know , looking forward to the next Vlog

@mitchellnix5274 5 жыл бұрын

A little bit slower than some 125s but rather a moot point for an adventure bike. Sit back, relax, chill out and enjoy seeing the world. A lot of bike for the money and a cheap way to go travelling. Nobody motorcycles based in Holmfirth do a similar looking 250c.f. For not much more.

This has more than a passing resemblance to the Derbi (Aprillia) Terra Adventure. I had one for a year, that had the 15hp RS125 motor & happily overtook lorries on the m-ways. To me, the Sinnis seems a little underpowered for its intended use

Hi could u please tell me if 55 is the top speed or have u had anymore out of it since filming the video. I do have a full bike licence but I’m looking at getting one of these for commuting as they are cheap and good on fuel

It's worth noting the double set of beefy looking crash bars - are they included on base bike or extras and are they included in the weight? Good for learners likely to topple over. Registration is 2017 so not new.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 жыл бұрын

Yes the crash bars are included in the price and weight - and this is a 2017 registered bike but a 2018 MY - I don't think there are any changes for 2019 either by the way!

Thought you forgot about this 1 saw it a while back in a video, I own 1 good little bike for starting out if you like adventure bikes not greatest top speed could do with little more but it's still a joy to ride... Hope to get a bigger adventure bike in next couple years , also question what handguards did you use been looking for some and easy to fit???

Sorry but even by 125 standards that's underpowered. All that weight and at best 10bhp? Not good. Most Japanese 125s can do 60+ fairly easily. Even my 2000 Suzuki DR 125 can do 65mph... This bike just isn't up to scratch imho. Same with most Chinese bikes. CG 125 - 60+MPH YBR 125 - 65+MPH CBR 125 (old and new) - 70+MPH YZFR125 - 80+MPH WR125X - 70+ MPH Varadero - 70+MPH Aprilia RS4 125 - 75+MPH Rieju Pro 125 - 70+MPH KTM Duke - 70+MPH I can honestly go on all day if anyone wants a consecutive list. And let's not even talk about the 2 Strokes speed. Oh, and this is talking from rider experience, not hearsay or online forums BS.
